This was a fun cinquain Brooke.
I am digging at the bottom of my inbox before more unread ones get dumped :)
Is artragist the name on fanstory as well as fanart?
Anyway, a fun cinquain and a great picture. These look a lot like the Zoo Atlanta flamingoes - similar enclosure.

Oli, Yes, this is a fun one - do they have awful plastic lawn ornaments in England too? Brooke :-)

Not so much but I know the ones you mean. Plenty of garden gnomes though. :D
Good night

Iā??m not always grumpy
Iā??m not so morose
And to cheer myself I typed this with my nose.
LOL!

You do make me laugh LOL

Hey that was difficult!
Comment from Mike K2
Good thing their is an illurstation, the poem is so short, it has a phallic quality about it. LOL I did enjoy it and found it well written.
Personally, I am a whirly-gig person and for years made fun of the cutout of the lady bending over in the garden. I may make on with the action underground so her bum moves. We make fun of lawn ornaments, but really that is one way to show off our personalities and a lot less expensive and time consuming the a garden itself.

Here in Florida, the pink flamingo lawn ornament is almost required to signify you made it to retirement. It's almost looked at as an accomplishment. I worked my whole like and now I have the pink flamingo to prove it!LOL Great write as always, enjoyed.

I love your comments!! Thank you, Brooke :-)
Comment from artsygal
This is such a cute approach. I love anything that features the word 'erect.' LOL I love your note at the bottom, always so educational. I thought there was some reason for their always perching on one leg. . . turns out it's just an elegant quirk. I couldn't do proper watercolor to save my life, but it fascinates me. This is just a photo, but I played with the contrast and light levels, so I can see what you mean about it looking like a painting. One other thing: why such a bright pink? Doesn't it just make them all the more edible for predators? I guess fashion has no price.
Hugs for using my photo and for the lovely poem.

I think the pink comes from their eating the brine shrimp. Sara, I'm so glad you enjoyed this - I so wanted to use one of the pieces from your portfolio :-) Thank you for the inspiring picture, that lots of readers loved!!! Brooke
Comment from Nicnac
This is cute. Great job, Brooke.
Your author notes are always so informative and interesting. I also have wondered why they stand on one leg, but I disagree with you on one point - I can't stand the tacky lawn ornament! haha
Great artwork to compliment this fun poem.

Nic, I love tacky kitsch - not in a - isn't that beautiful way but in a - isn't that absurdly quirky kind of way. :-) Thanks, Brooke
Comment from Dave-Aranda-Richards
Flamingos are beautiful.Hopefully lawn ones cannot live. I have very tacky one on or patio made of wood. A close friend of mine and I saw it at a garage sale. He said it was the most ridiculous thing he had seen for a long time. So I had to buy it right then and there.

Comment from Annelisa
Who's to judge what is tacky and what's not. I have a garden gnome and I think he's awesome. Flamingos are really cool. I don't have any...better head to the store. Oh yeah...fun haiku! Annelisa

Annelisa - oh, I am not afraid to say something's tacky! LOL
I just enjoy tacky things the way people love dogs that are so ugly that they seem cute :-) Thanks so much, Brooke
Comment from Dklrdmcches
I took this as a serious piece because it was well written with a hint of mystery. The words hit home and filled the imagination with much information regarding the life around. very well done...DKLRD

I hope that even when I make a point humorously I am making a serious point, so thank you so much for that comment. :-) Brooke
